The distribution of environmental contaminants in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems is controlled by abiotic and biotic factors that can vary substantially among ecosystems and make the consequences of contaminant exposure difficult to predict. The purpose of this course is for students to develop a strong conceptual framework for understanding how environmental loading of contaminants leads to exposure and adverse effects for wildlife and/or people. Students in this course will achieve an understanding of (a) the major contaminant classes, (b) contaminant sources, fate, and biogeochemistry, (c) the mechanisms of toxicity, and (d) the population, community, and ecosystem responses to contaminants.
Welcome to your Wikipedia assignment's course timeline. This page guides you through the steps you'll need to complete for your Wikipedia assignment, with links to training modules and your classmates' work spaces.
Your course has been assigned a Wikipedia Expert. You can reach them through the Get Help button at the top of this page.
Resources:
Create an account and join this course page, using the enrollment link your instructor sent you. (Because of Wikipedia's technical restraints, you may receive a message that you cannot create an account. To resolve this, please try again off campus or the next day.)
This week, everyone should have a Wikipedia account.
Resource: Editing Wikipedia, pages 7–9
Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.
Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.
Resources:
Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!
It's the final week to develop your article.
Graduate student presentations will be on 12/1 and undergraduate presentations will be on 12/3 and 12/8.
Everyone should be wrapping up all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for submission by December 10th 11:59pm.
